I was looking at the older Custodes Combat Patrol list:

Guardians of the Throne
1 × Shield Captain
5 × Prosecutors
5 × Vigilators
4 × Custodian Guard OR 3 × Vertus Praetors

I was wondering if you can still use the old lists for games if Combat Patrol, or you are required to use the new one.

Tristraen’s Gilded Blades
1 × Blade Champion
2 × Allarus Custodians OR 3 x Custodian Wardens
3 x Custodian Guard

Also, is one better than the other?

Thank you.

Edited: I misread what comes in the box versus what models you actually get to use. (Apparently, in Tristraen’s Gilded Blades you get a model in the box that you don't play with).

As far as I know you could use either - both have current rule sets on GWs community site, updated on the same day.

The second one doesn't have options. You get the Blade Champion, 3 Wardens, 3 Guards, and 2 Terminators. And it's probably going to be the better of the two by virtue of not having Sisters of Silence.

The GW site says I have to choose:

Unlike many other Combat Patrols, Tristraen’s Gilded Blades have a choice to make before they plunge into battle, as they would be simply too powerful if every miniature in the box joined the fight at once. You can choose between a squad of three Custodian Wardens, whose massive guardian spears and castellan axes are particularly effective against elite troops and monsters, or two Allarus Terminators, who trade numbers for resilient armour that make them some of the most durable fighters in the game.

Well, me. I thought that page in the codex was strictly fluff. That would certainly explain why I ROFL-stomped my nephew that one time...
